Example

[C#]
// It is assumed that the caller has the privileges to perform this action
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";

// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

// BizMerchant proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizMerchant merchant = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizMerchant ();
merchant.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
merchant.Url = strDir + "BizMerchant.srf";

string strErrorMsg;
string strResultXml;
string strColumnSetXml;

try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
   strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>description</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";

   // Retrieve the current information
   strResultXml = merchant.Retrieve(userAuth, userAuth.MerchantId, strColumnSetXml);

   // Change the desired data
   XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
   xmlDoc.LoadXml(strResultXml);

   // Update the description. (Add a description if one is not already there)
   XmlNodeList xmlNodes = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("description");

   if (xmlNodes == null || xmlNodes.Count == 0) 
   {
      System.Xml.XmlElement oElement = xmlDoc.CreateElement("description");
      oElement.InnerText  = "A wonderful business.";
      xmlDoc.FirstChild.AppendChild((System.Xml.XmlNode)oElement);
   }
   else
   {
      xmlNodes.Item(0).InnerText = "A wonderful business.";
   }

   strResultXml = xmlDoc.InnerXml;

   // Update the business
   merchant.Update(userAuth, userAuth.MerchantId, strResultXml);
} 
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
   // Process the platform error here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
